Amakhosi coach Vladimir Vermezovic has made two alterations to his starting eleven and has included Mandla Masango and Abia Nale in his starting line up for this afternoon's MTN 8 Semi-Final Second Leg showdown with Orlando Pirates.

The two offensive minded players Nale and Masango replace Nkhosinathi Nhleko and Josta Dladla who started when Chiefs defeated Bloemfontein Celtic 1 - 0 in a league game a week ago.

For the rest Chiefs are the same and will institute a 4-4-2 formation for the game as they aim to reach their fourth MTN 8 final in seven seasons.

Coach Vladimir has said that they will not sit back and rest on their away goal advantage and will instead be looking to go for goals. The teams are tied at 1-1 going into today's tie.

On the bench the Chiefs coach does have the likes of Nkhosinathi Nhleko, Stehmbiso Ngcobo as well Tinahse Nengomasha to call on.
